The duct tape we use is red which differentiates it from generic duct tape. The generic duct tape contains chlorides which, when it comes in contact with piping, can cause corrosion. Red tape is chloride free and costs eight times as much as regular tape. We go thruogh cases of the stuff every year. Tie wraps, or stay straps, are another favorite repair item. Feel safe now?? |

Is that the stuff with the white line along the centre to guide you when you wrap it round something? If so it's the same stuff we have started to sell where I work. Great tape but very expensive. Very good for the offshore industry as well as our nuke builder in townl. Handy in that you can cut it off and it leaves no residue.
